Whenever you want -- just try to host it at a time when lots of people can join you.

Who will be hosting these house-party screenings?

ANYONE -- students, teachers, parents. You don't need to have ever done anything like this before.

Why host a house-party screening?

Film is a great tool for organising and mobilising our movement for action. By hosting this screening and discussion, the film should spark dialogue and action in communities across the world. We must understand the terrifying maths of global warming, promote just solutions and fight dirty fossil fuel projects.

I'm anxious about hosting a screening – I've never done this before.

Hosting a screening is very simple -- all you need to do is make sure you've got the equipment you need to screen the movie, reserve a couple of hours, and spread the word! You can always co-host a screening and invite local leaders to co-lead the discussion after the film if you wish.

What is the schedule? How much time should we plan for?

The whole event should take about 1.5 hours. Here's a sample schedule:

19:00: Event starts, allow approximately 10 minutes for people to arrive.

19:10: Short introduction to the film.

19:15: Start the movie! It's 42 minutes long.

20:00: Discussion of the movie for 30 minutes.

Whom should I invite?

Family, friends, neighbours — anyone you feel should see the film. If you want to expand your reach, consider inviting representatives from diverse community groups so numerous points of view are included and a well-rounded conversation can take place.

How do we lead the discussion?

The film will inspire conversation on its own, but choosing one person who will moderate or facilitate discussion will help to focus the group and clearly identify actions that people can easily engage in. It's a good idea to designate one person to take notes and collect all attendees’ contact information so that you can continue to communicate with one another after the screening. You can also check out our discussion guide.

We recommend that before the discussion ends, you offer your guests a list of easy, specific actions that they can take within your community.
